Grand Enclos du Chateau de Cérons 2009

Oh gosh!!! So may years ago in my era of ignorance, I felt that Bordeaux just simply didn't produce wines with high impact full personalities......oh shame on me! Incase like me you only like wines that can hold their own, may I, with my head hung in shame, introduce you to a delicious Grand Enclos du Château de Cérons 2009. From the distinctive Graves area in Bordeaux, a district producing Grand Cru wines, Graves seen as the birthplace if Bordeaux wines. Need I say more!

On the nose there are rich dark cherries, plums and raspberries, Logan berries, hedge and Cinamon.

On the palate there are the delicious rich fruits of dark cherries and plums. chocolate makes its presence rather quickly but slips effortlessly into a licorice tone. As the licorice subsides a herbal note of thyme steps forward and rounds up a wonderful dry mouth with nice long tannins!Delicious!
